EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION FIXED BY HONDA AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED AND AT NO COST WITH FREE LOANER CAR!!! THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE NEWER GEN HONDA ENGINES! MY PERSONAL OPINION IS BAD PISTON RINGS!!! GROVES ARE CREATED OVER TIME AND THUS OIL IS CONSUMED INTO THE BLOCK. I DID THE RECOMMENDED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AT DEALER AND BY THE END I WAS LOSING 1 QT OIL EVERY 800 MILES. NEW SHORT BLOCK INSTALLED AT AROUND 79K MILES. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND HONDA WILL, SHOULD MAKE IT RIGHT. TO ALL THE PEOPLE GOING THROUGH THIS, BE PERSISTENT!!!!

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS NOTIFIED IN MARCH ABOUT THIS RECALL AND THAT THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN LATE SPRING EARLY SUMMER. NOW I SEE IT WILL BE LATE SUMMER EARLY FALL. I WANT HONDA TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR FOR ME UNTIL THIS IS FIXED. I FEEL LIKE I'M PUTTING MY LIFE IN JEOPARDY AS WELL AS MY PASSENGERS EVERY TIME I GET BEHIND THE WHEEL. HOW LONG DO YOU EXPECT PEOPLE TO DRIVE AROUND WITH THIS DEFECT WITHOUT OFFERING SOME REMEDY?

I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
MY HONDA 2010 INSIGHT - VEHICLE ROLLS BACK AFTER RELEASING BRAKE GOING UP HILL. THIS INTERMITTENTLY HAPPENED SINCE BUYING VEHICLE LAST YEAR AROUND 2/30/2015. LAST YEAR AROUND THE MONTH OF JUNE - A ROLL-BACK CAUSED VEHICLE TO ROLL-BACK ON A CURB ON RIGHT SIDE AND REAR TIRE HIT CURB PRETTY HARD. I CONFIRMED LATER THE BEARING HAD A NOISY SOUND AFTER THAT (THE VEHICLE ALWAYS HAD A SLIGHT MUCH LIGHTER NOISE WHILE DRIVING). WE HEARD A SLIGHT LOUDER RUBBING SOUND AFTER THAT ROLL BACK ON A CURB INCIDENT. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME HYBRIDS HAS SLIGHT NOISE DUE TO BATTERY ELECTRIC SOUND. MONTHS LATER AFTER THE ROLL-BACK BEARING DAMAGE, I ASKED ABOUT ISSUE WITH A MECHANIC SHOP, THEY TOLD ME ISSUE SOUNDED LIKE BAD BEARINGS, AND I WAS TOLD TO GET SHOCKS CHECKED TOO. I WAS UNEMPLOYED - AND THEY TOLD ME MOST PEOPLE CAN DRIVE WITH BAD BEARINGS FOR A WHILE. HERE IS MORE DETAIL ON THE ROLL BACK - IT HAPPENS, WHILE MOVING FOOT FROM BRAKES TO GAS PADDLE. WHEN THE ROLL BACK HAPPENS - IT'S AFTER I RELEASE BRAKES ON A SLOP. I HAD TO QUICKLY HIT GAS OR MOVE QUICK TO BREAKS AGAIN- DUE TO SOMETIMES I IN STOPPED IN TRAFFIC ON A HILL, AND I CAN'T HOLD THE GAS DUE TO FORWARD MOTION IN STOPPED TRAFFIC, SO WHILE HOLD BRAKE WITH RIGHT - I MOVE MY LEFT FOOT TO BRAKES AND THEN RIGHT FOOT OVER GAS - WHEN ABLE - MOVE FORWARD (AND I RELEASE MY LEFT FOOT FROM BRAKES). MY DAUGHTER DRIVE MORE THAN ME, AND TOLD ME NOT TO HIT BRAKES TO QUICKLY OR QUICK MULTI-TAP & RELEASE BRAKES BEFORE I STOP, SHE IS RIGHT THIS ISSUE HAPPENS LESS NOW THAT I SLOWLY MOVE FOOT FROM GAS TO BRAKES GOING UP HILL). THAT WAS WHEN I LEARNED TO COORDINATE FOOTING ON A HILL. I FOUND IT'S SORT OF EXPENSIVE TO FIX TIRE BEARINGS AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, AND MY VEHICLE WAS OVER 70,000 MILES AT THAT TIME LAST YEAR - FROM HONDA. I AM READY TO GET ROLL-BACK, AND HOPEFULLY BEARINGS FIXED BY HONDA TOO.

TAKATA RECALL. HONDA ." CONSEQUENCE: AN INFLATOR RUPTURE MAY RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." I FEEL HONDA IS ENDANGERING MY LIFE BY NOT PROVIDING A RENTAL DURING THIS RECALL. I CANNOT AFFORD A RENTAL AND MUST USE MY CAR AS I MA SURE MANY OTHER FOLKS ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION. SAFETY DEPARTMENTS NEED TO PUT PEOPLE'S LIVES AHEAD OF THE ALL MIGHTY DOLLAR. I WAS TOLD IN JULY THAT NO ONE HAS DIED YET OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL SO HONDA WILL NOT PAY FOR A RENTAL. MY DRIVER AIRBAG WAS FIXED AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS NOT FIXED AT THE SAME TIME. I WAS JUST TOLD OF THE NEW AIR BAG RECALL ON 07/10/16 WHEN I FINALLY GOT MY CAR BACK WITH DRIVER'S AIR BAG FIXED.
